Hi, I am beginning to think that postponing the meeting (again?) will not be a good idea. Before long, people will not bother filling out "yet another doodle", as "it will only be replaced by a new doodle". I think a better alternative would be to work out "our concerns" for all ports. These concerns can then be send out to the relevant porters giving them time to address them. I believe this will be better for us, because we will get an overview of which ports need attention. But I also think it is better for the porters as they will (presumably) get more time to fix any issues we have. An important consequence of my proposed alternative is that we will *not* reject ports at this time. Though, if there are ports we believe are all okay at this time, I see no problem in approving them already now[1]. Phil suggested (over IRC) that we should be able to compile a list of concerns without doing a meeting. I am okay with that, but it implies that people are ready to take the time to write and reply to emails about it. Alternatively, we could just pick one of the slots on the doodle Adam made and use it for the above purpose. If nothing else, I hope it it would at least be a good starting point. ~Niels [1] Hopefully it would also mean it will be easier to find a meeting slot later, as porters for these archs probably do not "need" to be present. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
